A breath of fresh air

Introductory remarks at a Jill Stein rally in Providence Good afternoon, I am Greg Gerritt, and today I am wearing my Green Party hat,    As you know, we all fulfill a variety of roles in the community, Today is Green Party, tomorrow I lead the fence building party at the community garden we are building in my neighborhood. I note the garden because some of the other hats I wear to RIC in my work in the community, hats related to sustainability, food security, and compost, led me to people who were willing to invite Jill Stein to speak on…

Why “Lesser Evilism” Is a Loser

Against the Current September-October 2016, ATC 184 AGAINST THE CURRENT interviewed Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for president in 2016 following its convention at the end of July. The Green Party vice-presidential candidate is Ajamu Baraka. Against the Current: How do you answer the question that the only thing that counts is beating Trump? Jill Stein: That’s the question we get every election. It’s the question we get most in this election.

on Robert Naiman’s attacks on Jill Stein (on behalf of Hillary Clinton)

To Robert Naiman, of JustForeignPolicy: Good to know what kind of person you really are — a disgusting, underhanded, partisan Democrat who will stoop to low levels to support the most aggressive pro-war candidate the Democrats have produced. How can you call yourself a peace activist? What are your ties to the Clinton campaign? Are they paying you to do this dirty work for them? Are you an insider given this information as part of the Clinton campaign’s effort to slander Jill Stein with falsehoods? Thank you for exposing the campaign against Stein by the Clinton team — we will…

Bernie broke my heart, but Dr. Jill Stein heals the wound

OpEd News By Jeanine Molloff July 15, 2016 My one-sided ‘lurid’ love affair with Bernie Sanders has come to a screeching halt. The political infatuation I had with Bernie that was strong enough to make me swear off George Clooney (pre-Amal); is now stored away with old tokens meant to curse former crushes, (including an ugly little voodoo doll bearing more than a striking resemblance to Trump); and all because he whole heartedly endorsed Hillary this week. Now I understand that Bernie told his followers the fight will go to the convention floor as a show of newly grown progressive…
